Urine-absorbing aids for incontinence — Test methods for characterizing polymer-based absorbent materials — Part 3: Determination of particle size distribution by sieve fractionation ISO 17190-3:2001

Publication date:   Dec 6, 2001

Scope

This part of ISO 17190 specifies a method for measuring particle size distributions from 45 μm to 850 μm of
cross-linked polyacrylate (PA) superabsorbent powders.
In general, this method is expected to be applicable to powdered polymeric superabsorbent materials that are
free-flowing at temperatures between 15 °C and 35 °C.
